We felt genuinely welcomed and appreciated the attention to detail, appropriate attention from the wait crew so much that we ate here twice. Both were VERY enjoyable experiences. Thank you for the excellent food, service and ambiance. The bacon cheese burger served on Friday and Saturday was as advertised - EXCELLENT! Pork chops and lamb chops were superb as was the buratta salad.

Definitely worth visiting. Outstanding service. Excellent salads. They had a shrimp and risotto special entree that was a confusing blend of Italian and spicy Mexican, but ambience, location, cocktails, and service compensated for that one-off culinary experience.

Well it’s says the reviews aren‘t verified but we just finished our meal at Azul and, we can verify that everything we say is exactly how we feel. We’ve been coming to Loreto since 2006 and Azul was such a welcome addition - I’m guessing about 10 years ago. Quality food, fun drinks, easy atmosphere. Initially we came with our 3 kids, now they come with their friends and we finally have date nights again. Great, knowledgeable , friendly staff, a chef who comes to say hi, front of house who take the time to tell you not to hurry as the next guests for the table are running late. 4 cocktails later, we’re lying in bed, stuffed with the fish of the day and the Mediterranean plate (and French fries of course), feeling lucky, spoiled, and grateful for another lovely evening at Azul. If we could do it again tomorrow, we would. But it’s Sunday. (This is only the second review I’ve ever written.)

We have been looking forward to our visit to Loreto for a year to visit the Blue Whales. We have a part-time residence in Cabo San Lucas and plan to drive up and we’re looking for fine dining experience and I discovered this restaurant and realize that we had frequented many of the restaurants that Carlos had worked at in San Francisco, Hawaii and Los Angeles. What surprised us was the lamb chop which is difficult to source in Baja Sur and Azul Has sourced this from New Zealand. Azul is south of Loreto by 3 miles but well worth the short drive. The portions are plentiful and it is a great value not to be missed on any visit To Loreto.
